Joan and I have been taking an amazing class through Maiwa School. We have been working with Natural dyes and creating samples of a huge range of color possibilities. The photos below illustrate some of the fabrics we have dyed in order to learn about natural dyes.

| Fabrics dyed using exhaust baths (colors that have been used before) |

| What you see here is two sample runs on two different substrates: natural cotton and cotton. On the left are the colors of the dye. Next right is an iron shift. All iron shifts are done for about 2 minutes. Next stop is an indigo shift. |
